By tri lipids, do you mean Tri-glycerides? Triglycerides are lipids made with three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.

Your body makes some triglycerides. Triglycerides also come from the food you eat. When you eat, your body uses carbohydrate calories for immediate energy. Leftover calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high.

That said, I don't understand why any medication would contain triglycerides. Fish oil or other fatty acid supplements are the only thing that comes to mind in this situation.
